Pros

Good start to your career. If you can't find ANYTHING else.

Cons

CAI is a glorified staffing agency. They charge clients say $200 per hour for an agents time and CAI takes home about 80% of that cut. The lions share goes towards the ESOP which really only benefits those with lots of stock (i.e., those with tenure, senior leadership, c suites). CAI is eroding at the middle. Lots of bloat at top being supported by an ever growing staff of fresh college graduates and an ever shrinking senior staff who flee for better opportunities once vested and trained. If you're a client and you need help, try hiring a company that doesn't outsource your sensitive documentation developments to India where we pay agents $15 an hour but still charge our American clients the hourly rate of an American agent. Lmao, a BAL called that innovating. What a weird way to spell "outsourcing". CAI has peaked. Even the original CEO sold his stock worth millions when he passed the baton. Tells you alot about leaderships faith if even Bob would rather have the cash.

Pros

- Time and a half OT - There used to be an amazing 401k (15%+ESOP), that’s just been axed thanks to private equity buying us out - Good colleagues - Willing to train people - Good pay if you’re working OT and live in a cheap area

Cons

- Overtime far from guaranteed. Sometimes you’re scrapping to hit 40 hours. - Pay sucks in expensive areas - Project assignment is mostly luck of the draw? They need to be a copy-paste monkey? You’re a copy-paste monkey until the end of days. - Company did a lot of things to increase enterprise value in the short term in preparation for the buyout from private equity - Company repeatedly shorts people on raises and promotions and works to muddy the water on payscales and promotions.The middle has hollowed out because of lack of raise/promotions. People get 3 years and then bail. - Travel can be super heavy and last minute - Company far more bureaucratic than it needs to be
